I am notorious for over complicating things, but you could have it
check if the user is logged-in, and if not, redirect them to a login
page, and if they are, let them brows as usual.
You would probably need to do this in php at the level of the skin
something like this at the very top of the skin template should work
The name of the user cookie is different for each install, so you
would need to find the name and enter it in.
if(!isset($_COOKIE['name_of_user_cookie'])){ // if cookie not set -
redirect
header("Location:
http://www.example.com/index.php/
Special:Userlogin"); // Redirects browser to login page
}

Have you tried putting '#REDIRECT [[Special:Userlogin]]' on your
main
page? Alternatively, you could probably also edit
MediaWiki:Mainpage
and put 'Special:Userlogin' in there.
I haven't tried either method, though.

Thanks, but frankly I do not know where is my Mainpage, I use
default
index.php.
Could you explain a little more?
I got it. on MediaWiki:Mainpage 'Special:Userlogin' works good.
Thank you!
The only problem with this method (changing Mediawiki:Mainpage) is
once a
user logs in they are taken back to the Special:UserLogin page, not
the Main
Page. Is there anyway to accomplish this and redirect back to the
Main Page?
